How are you getting nutrition now? What are your doctors orders? I was sipping Protein Shakes the next day... admittedly I did not want to eat ot drink anything.

I was drinking Protein Shakes the next day too and still live on my Protein shakes. Protein and Vitamins are two items we learn to live with. But I love my protein shakes!!

I also take Greens which are 8 servings of fruit & veggies a day as a supplement. You will realize that we need supplements since we do not get all the nutrients from food anymore. The first 6 months was the roughest for me trying to figure out what I can and cannot eat. For my "bad" days where I could not eat much, protein shakes saved my life.

My doctors said only Clear liquids like broths But I don't want to drink that feel grossed out

Call them to ask.

I like the GNC Lean shakes because they're very thin. About the consistency of milk. In fact, they're made with milk, which may be why they taste so good...

Some Days if Iam truly not hungry I have to force myself to eat even one meal. Many days I will have a Protein shake twice a day with fruits & veggies made in the Nutribullet!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
